VELVET-LEAF MALLOW
Abutilon palmeri

Velvet-leaf Mallow is also commonly known as Superstition Mallow, Indian Mallow, and Palmer's Abutilon. This plant is very easy to take care of with little watering needs; flowering is actually more robust with infrequent deep irrigations during the growing season only. It is a common addition to butterfly gardens as its bright golden yellow/orange flowers attract pollinators.
